Halloween ~ I Surrender
November 2, 2012
I took Brienne and Laurent trick or treating this week, walking through the woodsmoke scented neighborhoods of our town. You know what's strange? The French don't say "Trick or Treat". That's an English phrase. There is no French script for showing up the door and begging for candy. Without the ...
